I've always wanted to visit the continent. I'd love to visit all over, but I have limited times and funds. Somewhere in east Africa seems to be the best option for me. I have about 7-10 days. I'm open to seeing natural sights, but the towns and cities are my main thing. I want to walk in the busy streets, good street food, small casual restaurants, visit the markets, museums, go to the club/bar at night.
I don't want to rush and travel a lot, so maybe i'll check out two cities.
Which city is the best for nightlife? I know Ethiopia has great food. How is the rest of east African cuisine?
I'm under the impression that most major cities are quite safe, and that walking around alone isn't a problem. Am I correct in saying this?
HONORABLE MENTION: If I visit somewhere outside east Africa, I'll visit Congo. What do you think?
